APPROACH
Theoretical/project based

The course aims at showing the theoretical foundations of design, as well as the main methodologies of Design Thinking for the creation and development of “concepts”. Starting with a historical overview of what ideas and projects mean, the students will learn how to manage a project in 4 phases: research, synthesis, conception, implementation. Parallel to this theoretical-project based path, the acquired competencies will be applied to the CGI work pipeline.

The programme grants 10 credits, divided as follows:

• RESEARCH METHODS: 5 CFA

• DESIGN METHODS: 5 CFA

Successful students will be able to:

• Design a process that can mediate between involved parties

• Carry out a critical analysis of existing projects

• Understand the own position, roles and functions within a project process

• Relate to the various actors that take part into the process

RESEARCH METHODS:

• Basic principles of Design Thinking

DESIGN METHODS:

• Basics of Direction

• Sasics of VFX Supervision in post-production

This is a theoretical/project based course.
